About Florence Airport, Peretola
Overview
Florence Airport serves the metropolitan area of Firenze in central Italy, functioning as a critical regional transportation hub. Located at 43.808558°N, 11.202822°E, the airport sits at an elevation of 142 feet above mean sea level. As a large airport, it supports both commercial and general aviation operations in the Tuscany region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's moderate elevation and central Italian location suggest variable seasonal weather conditions that pilots must carefully monitor. Situated at 142 ft MSL, the airport experiences relatively mild terrain-influenced meteorological patterns typical of the Tuscany region. Wind conditions will significantly impact operations, particularly on the single runway 05/23.
Notable Features
The single runway 05/23 measures 5,118 feet in length and is constructed of asphalt, providing a solid operational surface for aircraft. Its orientation suggests potential wind-related challenges during approaches, with crosswind components being a critical consideration for pilots. The airport's geographic position in a relatively enclosed valley might introduce complex local wind dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23's length of 5,118 feet requires careful performance calculations, particularly for larger aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential terrain-induced wind shear and be prepared for variable approach conditions. The runway's asphalt surface and moderate elevation provide a standard operational environment that requires standard instrument approach procedures.
